Example how a simple, uncluttered background (lawn grass) greatly enhances using DOF control.

Baitong,Some details about the photograph:
It is a fuschia plant hanging in my mother-in-law's back yard. Its blossoms are small. The photograph was made during July, 2000, using a 135mm f/2.8 telephoto with a 36mm extension tube to allow very close focusing. Film is Kodachrome 64 (transparency, a.k.a. "slide" film). Camera was mounted on a tripod and a cable release was used to trip the shutter. I did not record the exposure. As I remember it was done at an f/2.8 aperture setting on the lens. With a 36mm extension tube, the effective aperture is something less than that. Shutter speed was about 1/60th or 1/30th second.
Thanks,
